KIRKUS REVIEW

Chloe Arish has a single goal in her new life in Boston, and
Ryan Fierro is the only person who can get in her way.

Chloe, a 1,000-year-old dragon shifter—who's fireproof!—wants
nothing more than to be a Boston firefighter, and a highly coveted position has
opened in her local station. After passing the preliminary exams with flying
colors, only one thing stands in her way: Ryan, a member of a popular Boston
firefighting family, who passed with similarly flying colors. For him, getting
the job would not just be a matter of personal pride, but of family pride as
well, since this was his father's station before he retired. When the captain
finds a way to hire both of them, they find themselves alternating between icy
barbs and hot stares. They eventually develop a respectful working
relationship, even if Ryan’s need to protect Chloe occasionally makes him
embarrass himself. Their "working relationship" evolves into a
different kind of relationship, but all kinds of things begin to interfere. If
their relationship is discovered, one or both of them might be transferred, and
a surprise proposition from a family member visiting from Ireland presents
different kinds of complications. Not to mention the fact that Ryan and his
family are shifters as well: legendary phoenixes, of all things. Even so, there
isn’t a lot of tension or surprise in the second book of the Boston Dragons
series, just a few challenges that will obviously be overcome. The supporting
cast, including the hilarious Mother Nature, brings something extra to a story
that features gaps in the plotline and head-scratching changes in character
personality.

A fun, readable, if predicable paranormal romance that explores
a world beyond vampires and your typical run-of-the-mill animal shape-shifting species.
